An external storage drive becomes unallocated when its file system becomes corrupted. This happens when a virus damages the file system, or when the hard disk has bad sectors. The unallocated drive is not visible in File Explorer, but its status can be checked in Disk Management.
Also, it is impossible to access all the Data Recovery stored on the unallocated drive. You need to fix the unallocated disk drive first to access this Data Recovery.
Methods to Fix Unallocated Hard Drive and Recover Data :
A. Enable the unallocated device using Device Manager :

- Go to System Tools > Device Manager .

- Right-click on the USB flash drive with the arrow pointing down and select “Enable Device”.
